Taking a break over Christmas

Christmas is a very busy period for lots of people, and I have decided to take a short break from blogging so that I can concentrate on other things ... like keeping warm and eating far too much!

I will be uploading my usual Christmas greetings to my loyal regular blog readers and fellow bloggers, but other than that don't expect to hear much from me until the end of the month. In the meantime, I hope that you all keep safe and keep well.


PS. My wife tells me that my attitude to Christmas is very Scrooge-like, possibly because I have been known to say 'Bah! Humbug!' during the runup to the festivities. This is nothing to do with the actual celebrations but the fact that stuff began appearing on the shelves of shops months beforehand, and that the whole thing has – in my opinion – become far too commercialised.

As to Scrooge ... well, I think that he has had a bit of a bad press over the years ...

Scrooge the wargamer dreaming of wargames past, wargames present, and wargames yet to come!

That Dickens chap (with whom I share a birthday and certain facial characteristics i.e. scruffy hair, silly beard, bags under the eyes) has a lot to answer for!

      I’ll be posting my usual Merry Christmas message on the day, but other than that, I intend to relax and eat far too much!

      Merry Christmas to you and yours,

      Bob

  7. Merry Christmas Bob.
    You can bet your bottom dollar that as soon as Christmas is over then we’ll start to see the buildup to Easter - more specifically the adverts for C*dbury’s crรจme eggs ๐Ÿ˜‰
    Cheers,

      I actually saw some Christmas crรจme eggs on sale a month ago, although they were ‘disguised’ with Christmas pudding-like wrappers!

      All the best,

  8. A mid-winder pause is often just the thing (and probably in the spirit of the season, anyway). Seaons Greetings, Bob!
